Default Re: What are your late payment policies?
Actually, the only method of payment I accept is Paypal - I accepted checks from one client ages ago and it just took forever, I was always waiting for them to be cut by the bank and sent. Then I had to go to the bank or post them to my account....I also accepted direct deposit for a while at the start of my practice but that too started to get complicated and was messy. Paypal is quick and easy, everyone has a clear record of what's what and when it was requested.

But if you do decide to accept checks, be sure to add some kind of wording like:

"NSF policy: $XX or most allowed by law."

It doesn't have to be complicated, just clear.
